My family and I rented both units for new years. We had an amazing time and really appreciate the family's hospitality. It was really above and beyond to invite us into their home for breakfast and bring us fresh fruits and cake for new years. I've never experienced such sweet and good natured hospitality, and my whole family was touched.

The second point is that we truly were "immersed" in Thai life by living in this neighborhood. We weren't surrounded by tourists, but rather were intermixed with normal Thai people going along their day to day lives along an historic canal. Being outside the city center was an incredibly refreshing experience, and the porch overlooking the canal waterway was a true highlight. We would sit there in the evenings and feed the fish and watch as boats came by.

We even had the opportunity to go across the canal and watch at the artists collective a live puppet show. What a treat!

Finally, we loved the place as well, it was incredibly comfortable, had a great layout, was tastefully decorated and very functional as well. Everything we needed was there.

The only difficult thing was explaining to cab drivers how to get there, but if they just called Wasawat he could explain in Thai and it was easy from there.
